The Art of Cutting: Tradition and New Techniques for Paper, Cardboard, Wood and Other Materials

For anyone interested in cutting design of all kinds. This fantastic book includes a brief introduction to the history of the fascination of cutting materials throughout various cultures as well as a number of wonderful examples of contemporary cutters in book design, clothing and furniture design. I particularly appreciated the examples of large scale art works created in paper and metal as well as fine examples of whimsical and intricate work created by book artists. Amazing.
